Who says there is no cosmic irony in the bland world of telecom? On the day after thousands and thousands of pages were filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on a new national broadband plan, General Motors announced its new post-bankruptcy chairman -- Ed Whitacre, the former chairman of AT&T.
It is also ironic that someone who put the interest of AT&T above that of the government and society now runs a company in which the government is the major stockholder.
